How times change! Animal rights organization PETA has turned the other cheek. Previously, members of the organization attracted publicity by throwing red paint (signifying blood) onto fur coats. Now they’ve recalled the bet between the sun and the wind over who could get the man to take his coat off. (The wind blew and blew stronger and stronger, but it only made the man grasp his coat around himself tighter and tighter. The sun simply shone hotter and hotter, and the man quickly removed his coat.)
In the interest of making it hotter and hotter for people to stop eating meat, PETA has produced a TV spot so hot that the Super Bowl turned it down. Yes, it is definitely not a “family friendly” commercial. But adults who appreciate scantily-clad women and beautiful produce should watch it a few times. |

| Don’t blow your New Year’s resolutions on fattening Super Bowl food this Sunday. Buy yourself a Pickle Pack from Rick’s Picks and indulge on low-calorie, high fiber, high-taste artisan pickles. The all-cuke Pickle Power Pack is currently on sale for $29.95; although if you’re in the chips, we also love the Pickle Party Pack for $41.95 (two types of pickled green beans, smoked okra and pickled cukes).
These vibrant veggies are brined without salt or sugar—but with the best herbs, spices and vinegar. They’re a NIBBLE Top Pick Of The Week.

Two of our favorite flavors of Boulder Canyon potato chips: Hickory Barbecue (front) and Parmesan & Garlic. |
|
The second potato chip to be named a Top Pick Of The Week by THE NIBBLE specialty food magazine is the polar opposite of our first. North Fork Naturals, the first top chip, offers classic potato and sweet potato chips. Boulder Canyon pulls out all the stops to present seven flavors plus “original” all natural potato chips.* These thickly-sliced, small-batch kettle chips are flavor-forward in a delightful way: You know what you’re tasting, and it tastes good. Whether as a casual snack with a beer, a more tony encounter with a martini, a side with a sandwich or a more creative pairing (garlic chips are killer with cucumber-yogurt dip), you’ll understand the difference between a chip off the same old block and a chip that belongs at the Ritz.The kettle chips are made in Balsamic Vinegar & Rosemary, Hickory Barbecue, Jalapeño Cheddar, Malt Vinegar & Sea Salt, Parmesan & Garlic, Sea Salt & Black Pepper, Spinach & Artichoke and Totally Natural/Original. We do have some favorites. Read the full review to find out what they are. Find more of our favorite salty treats in the Snacks Section of THE NIBBLE online magazine. |

| The 42nd Super Bowl is over, an exciting game for fans on both sides. But what about the 1st Beer Super Bowl? THE NIBBLE pitted some of the craft beers of New England versus New York a few days before the game, to see what would happen on the beer gridiron (or at least, on the coffee table). Thanks to beer editor Ryan Smith for creating this concept. We’ll be using it to watch games of many kinds going forward. So…did the beer competition parallel the pigskin? See who won the Beer Super Bowl. |

 Congratulations, Giants. But who won the Beer Super Bowl |
